... to us or someone we love that we fully realize the importance of living every minute of the day. Crises happen every day. I recently spoke to a couple who had lost their 27-year-old son three years ago. He was a hard-working guy-a workaholic. He was also married and had one child. He was having some pains in his chest and complained that his arm was bothering him. The doctor said it was just indigestion and sent him home. A few months later, he had a heart attack and died. Someone else told me about his brother having to undergo heart bypass surgery at 43. He went back to work too early and suffered a stroke. The list goes on-especially in these times. The insurance industry is very stressful. Don't wait for a tragedy. Start thinking ... work! Family, health, and being happy come first-so start living now. A HALF DAY OFF EACH WEEK Start thinking of ways you can save time throughout your day. If you can, plan to take at least a half day off during the work week. If there's no way you can possibly do this, take another tack: Ask yourself whether you're spending too much time in the office. Do you really need to be out selling? Are you staying in the office to oversee staff? Work with your employees to write and review procedures for the agency. Make sure you're an active participant in this process. You'll be much more comfortable leaving the office if you know employees are following the newly formulated procedures. Designate an employee you can trust to oversee things while you're away ...

... think. Work is a means to make money to live well. I realize some of us really love our jobs; however, most of us are working strictly for the money. Encourage time off, plan on it, and give time off. You'll probably notice increased productivity, efficiency, morale, and, most importantly, peace of mind. ENCOURAGE TIME OFF Everyone needs time off for doctor appointments, family illnesses, special appointments, and weekday errands. Especially now with agencies trying to do more work with fewer staff, we need the time. Some of us just need time for us — that special day to just do nothing. We can get burned out so easily with companies rewriting business, constant interruptions, paperwork, and on and on and on. I know that ... calls in sick? As with any other event, if you have a plan in place you'll be able to conduct business as usual. In this document, Grace Bauer suggests that you view time off with a new perspective. Should I even bring it up? What will agency principals and owners think? When I started my business 12 years ago I still thought that employees should be at the office every single day. Under no circumstances should I ever call in sick. Management and fellow employees recognized sick days as a mortal sin. Susan is calling in sick. Her baby is sick again. John's out again. Yes, Susan needs to call in sick. Work is way down on her list. Health and family come first. And that's the way most of America thinks — and ...

... His pyramid of human needs began with Survival, followed by Security, Social Acceptance, Self-Esteem, and Self-Actualization. Shortly after my mother-in-law arrived at the hospital from a long ambulance ride, the pain medication she had been given wore off. She started to hurt. When she asked for pain medicine, the hospital staff (who had been alerted about her pending arrival hours earlier) announced that the doctor hadn't ordered it yet. The system might have anticipated that an 80-something-year-old traveling in an ambulance for more than 12 hours might need pain medication when she arrived (while you're reading this, picture your mother screaming in pain) . When I encouraged the staff to call the doctor, they did. But that call only created the authority to give a pill; it didn't produce the pill. ... in a box filled with roaches? In today's world, this might be good TV — but it's not reality. Neither is Management 101: One of the first courses you take in business school. The concepts presented and the processes proposed make so much sense and appear so easy that you say, "I can do this." Then you graduate and try to apply these concepts in your office, store, plant, or warehouse. More often than not, the results don't parallel what you learned. Business courses offer great theory but are often far removed from reality. Remember MBWA (Management by Wandering Around)? Maybe it's time for business owners to learn RBWA — Reality by Wandering Around. Maybe it's time to forget the perfect world of academia, and fulfill what Max DePree ...
